Whether you’re seeking a growth partner or planning to exit and retire, our flexible partnership model adapts to your needs.
In a sector ripe with consolidators, TC Group’s Partnership value proposition is distinct and rooted in Partners’ and our people’s experience at its heart. Whilst other consolidator models will have their own nuances, they generally all offer the same model. We are different.
If you’re looking for an opportunity to de-risk but want to continue playing a meaningful role whilst part of a larger group, you can do so and still retain local autonomy and benefit from uncapped earnings capacity directly linked to the performance of your practice.
- Partners retain 100% profits from their practice
- Equity remains with the Partners at a local level to facilitate future succession planning
- Each office retains their own autonomy in how they want to run their practice: client strategies, fee structure, growth plans and culture
- We have developed a centralised practice management infrastructure over 8+ years allowing Partners and our colleagues to focus solely on their client portfolio and growth
- Combining the benefits of being an independent practice (local knowledge, autonomy and service delivery) with being part of a Group (national support and infrastructure)
- Capital value based on a multiple of turnover and is not subject to interpretation like an EBITDA valuation. Ours is a clear, simple and fully transparent route to the capital your business is worth
TC Group’s partnership model was built by accountants for accountants and as business owners our Partners are best placed to service and champion their clients.
Legacy
If you’re looking for a well-earned retirement following a sale of your practice, our local firms are best-placed to take over the stewardship of your business. They will continue to provide a local, dedicated service your clients value, whilst at the same time leveraging our national capabilities to enhance your clients’ experience.
Our firms benefit from:
Group support
Access to a wide array of additional services you can tap into to grow your practice and further cement your client relationship
Frameworks to drive sharing of best practice and earnings growth
Tech innovation
Investment in people
Membership of an international alliance network
Growth infrastructure
Funding for acquisitions – a tried & tested method our Partners have adopted for increasing their income
Lateral hiring support for bringing in additional fee earning capabilities and/or planning for future succession

OUR INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCE
TC Group is the UK exclusive member of BOKS International, a prestigious global alliance comprising of top professionals and expert firms.
With over 100 reputable member firms spanning across 72 countries, BOKS International ranks among the Top 20 alliances worldwide.
OUR FUNDING PARTNER
Inflexion came on board as our PE investor in June 2023. We spent a long time finding the right partner, ensuring they fully understood our model.
We also took the conscious decision to ensure we mitigated any uncertainty a change in ownership would have for our local firms: the day before and the day after we brought Inflexion on board remained exactly the same for our Partners and colleagues. The same will be true should we choose to bring on new funding partners as we continue to grow. Certainty is critical in our environment.
